2 month check up

Little Lyla Kate is officially 12 pounds and 23 inches long.  She is growing strong.  The doctors appointment went well except for the heartbreaking cry when she got her shots.  It truly hurt me when she cried like she did.  She didn't cry for very long, but when she did it was louder than I have ever heard her cry.  Dan was with me thank goodness to help console her.  She calmed down quickly, but I still felt like she was thinking why did you do this to me.  We found out that bathing her in Johnsons baby soap was actually causing her dry skin to be even worse. Who would have thought?  Now we have to use Dove and put Eurcerin lotion on twice a day.  She definitely got her Daddy's skin.  It is so interesting to hear the doctor talk about how all the baby stuff now days is just a way to make money. You would have thought that the baby lotion and soap would be the best for your little lovebug, but it turns out you can just use everyday normal stuff.  I'll post pictures of her growth soon.  Stay tuned!

  2. Speaking of lotions... I got a whole set of Johnson's Lavender stuff - bath wash, lotion, etc. and noticed that after baths, Ila was getting little red spots all over her. Turns out she's allergic to the lavender! We had to just stop using all of it. I'm either going to try it on the second baby or give it away to someone else because I've got so much of it!
